BLACK SESAME (02533) has reached a deep cooperation with Yuanrong Qixing to jointly promote the mass production and implementation of advanced assisted driving technologies.

On December 12, Black Sesame Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Black Sesame") officially signed a cooperation agreement with Shenzhen Rongqi Xingxing Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yuan Rong Xingxing"). The two parties will establish a dual link between capital and business in this cooperation, combining their core strengths in chip technology and advanced driving model and algorithm fields. Based on Black Sesame's next-generation automotive-grade high-performance computing chip platform (02533), they will jointly develop a high-performance, cost-effective advanced driver assistance solution, expand industry application scenarios, and promote the technological scale landing. According to the cooperation plan, Black Sesame will provide chip products and a complete set of application development toolchains to lay a hardware foundation for the efficient research and development of the solution. Rongqi Xingxing will rely on its deep accumulation in the algorithm field to achieve deep adaptation and optimization of high-level assisted driving algorithms on Black Sesame's next-generation high-performance chip platform. They will jointly create a "chip + algorithm" integrated solution, providing car companies with a cost-effective integrated solution choice. At the same time, the two parties will collaborate with OEMs and resources upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, focusing on promoting the mass production application of L2+/L3 level assisted driving solutions in leading car companies, while exploring the landing scenarios of this solution in emerging areas such as Robotaxi. This dual cooperation in capital and business is an important measure for the two parties to leverage complementary technological advantages and deepen industrial synergy, further consolidating the technological competitiveness of the local high-performance assisted driving platform and helping to build a more resilient intelligent automobile industry chain ecosystem. Regarding this cooperation, the founder and CEO of Black Sesame, Shan Jizhang, said: "The mass landing of assisted driving cannot be achieved without the deep coordination of chips and algorithms. Black Sesame has always been centered on automotive-grade high-performance chips, building a full-stack technological capability. Rongqi Xingxing's strength in the research and mass production of high-level assisted driving algorithms is well-known. This cooperation, through the synergy of business and capital, will better promote the evolution of assisted driving technology. We believe that relying on the performance advantages of Black Sesame chips and the algorithm accumulation of Rongqi Xingxing, the two parties will create a more competitive high-level assisted driving solution." CEO Zhou Guang of Rongqi Xingxing said, "Chips are the core computing base of assisted driving, and the technical accumulation and product strength of Black Sesame in the automotive-grade high-performance chip field align well with Rongqi Xingxing's needs for algorithm research and development. This cooperation will achieve a deep integration of 'chip + algorithm,' not only accelerating the mass production of high-level assisted driving solutions but also providing car companies with more efficient and reliable integrated choices. Looking forward to working with Black Sesame to jointly promote the high-quality development of China's intelligent automobile industry chain." Black Sesame has been focusing on the automotive-grade chip field, independently developing the Huashan series ADAS chips and Wudang series cross-domain computing chips, and building a complete technical support system with self-developed IP cores, full-stack algorithms, and supporting software drivers. Among them, the Huashan A2000 chip, launched by Black Sesame in 2025, is a high-performance and efficient chip platform aimed at the next generation of AI models, which meets the computing needs of high-level assisted driving in complex scenarios and multitask parallelism. Yuan Rong Xingxing is committed to creating a "general artificial intelligence in the physical world," using innovative technology to create an AI driver and achieve RoadAGI, leading the transformation of the artificial intelligence industry. With competitive products and services, Yuan Rong Xingxing has cooperated with multiple car companies for mass production, jointly promoting the landing of more than ten combined assisted driving vehicles. So far, Yuan Rong Xingxing has delivered 200,000 production models equipped with urban NOA (navigation-assisted driving); in October 2025, Yuan Rong Xingxing's market share in the third-party supplier market for NOA city-assisted driving was close to 40%. As core participants in the intelligent automobile industry ecosystem, Black Sesame and Yuan Rong Xingxing will use this cooperation as a starting point to continue focusing on technological innovation and industrialization. Through resource sharing, technical collaboration, and capital empowerment, they will promote the mass application of high-level assisted driving technology and inject continuous momentum into the high-quality development of the intelligent automobile industry.
